I believe it's less about politeness and more about pronouns. You used `who`, whereas I would use `what` in that sentence.

In my world view, a LLM is far closer to a fridge than the androids of the movies, let alone human beings. So it's about as pointless being polite to it as is greeting your fridge when you walk into the kitchen.

But I know that others feel different, treating the ability to generate coherent responses as indication of the "divine spark".
